Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB
The AirTAC Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB is a single acting, push type (spring return) pen-size mini cylinder with a Ø10mm bore and 60mm stroke. A single air port drives the push stroke; the built-in return spring resets the rod when air is released, so only one solenoid line is needed.

About the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB
The AirTAC PSB10X60CB is a JIS pen-size single-acting push cylinder, meaning air entering its single M5x0.8 port extends the rod while an internal spring handles the return. This fail-safe design ensures the rod retracts automatically upon air loss, making it highly reliable for part ejection or clamping release. You get 29.8 N of net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at the 0.7 MPa maximum, with the return spring force already deducted.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and a slim body, it fits tight jigs perfectly. The CB double clevis accommodates pivoting loads. Because the stroke is a long 60 mm and the rod is just 4 mm thick, you should add an external guide to prevent side-loading. A fixed TPU bumper decelerates the final travel, but with heavy tooling at high speeds, meter-out the exhaust or add an external shock absorber.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB |
|---|---|
| Series | PSB JIS pen-size mini cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø10 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø4 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, push type (spring return) |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 0.7 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.2 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 800 mm/s |
| Return | Return spring (push by air) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 60 mm |
The spring holds the rod retracted; applying air pushes the rod out, and removing air lets the spring return it. Forces below are the NET spring-deducted values from the AirTAC thrust table. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Net Push Force (Ø10mm)
| Pressure | Net push force |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 29.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa (max) | 45.5 N |
These are the usable push forces after the return spring is subtracted, taken directly from the AirTAC single-acting thrust table. Minimum operating pressure is set by the spring, so this model needs at least the lower pressure shown to move.

Where the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB Is Used
Pivoting Part Ejector
Uses the CB double clevis to swing on a pivot and push finished components off a milling table with 29.8 N of force.
Package Diverter Gate
Acts as a spring-return gate arm that safely retracts when air drops, preventing conveyor jams on the packaging line.
Light Clamping Release
Holds a thin workpiece during drilling, then relies on the fail-safe retract feature to clear the area instantly upon air loss.
Is the Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB the Right Cylinder?
This 10 mm bore at maximum 60 mm stroke provides 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 6 mm bore offers 10.6 N; for heavier tasks, the 12 mm bore yields 42.9 N. The internal spring requires at least 0.2 MPa before motion begins. Plan for a safe working load of about 18 N, which is roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating, to account for friction.
For vertical lifts, expect to raise about 1.5 kg safely using a 2:1 margin. Since this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, position sensing is not available. Confirm your ordering essentials: 10 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, and CB double clevis mount.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force at your working pressure
- ✓ Only one air line / solenoid needed
- ✓ Fail-safe retract on air loss
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 60 mm (single-acting limit)
- ✓ Keep the load coaxial — avoid side load
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
- check Allow for spring force in the stroke direction.
- check Do not add an external return mechanism.
- check Keep the load coaxial; avoid side load on the thin rod.
- check Do not dismantle the front or back cover.
Airtac PSB Single Acting Compact Cylinder PSB10X60CB FAQ
It delivers 29.8 N net push at 0.5 MPa and 45.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The internal return spring dictates a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa before the rod extends, and the rod fails safe to the retracted position if air is lost.
It uses a fixed TPU bumper at each end to decelerate the last few millimeters of travel. Because the stroke is 60 mm and the rod is only 4 mm thick, you should use an external guide for side-load protection and meter-out the exhaust if moving heavy tooling mass at higher speeds.
